 At the launch of the programme which was hosted by Dean and Chief Executive Officer of BPP Law School, Peter Crisp, in Lagos, the varsity maintained that it’s programme adds better value to whatever knowledge lawyers had earlier acquired.
 
According to Crisp, BPP University’s three month LLM top-up course in the country is to be hosted in partnership with the Nigerian Law School.
“The new programme is on offer exclusively to Nigerian Law School graduates and legal professionals, and provides them with the opportunity to study towards an LLM in Trans-national Criminal Justice (TNCJ), Comparative Commercial Law (CCL) or International Business Law (IBL) at BPP Law School’s Holborn campus in London.
“The launch of the LLM courses in Nigeria will provide graduates and professionals with the opportunity to gain specialist experience that otherwise may not have been available to them.
“More than 3,300 of BPP University’s students are international students and we are dedicated to continuing to expand our presence in the overseas market and forging integral relationships with partners like Nigeria Law School,” Crisp said.
In her remark, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun of the Supreme Court said the idea of having BBP University LLM (Profession Legal Practice) top-up programme being run in collaboration with the Nigerian Law School is a welcome development that will enhance legal career in Lagos.
“The programme is an exciting addition to the existing avenues for enhancing the professional qualifications of legal practitioners in Nigeria. The course is timely having regard to the prevailing rate of foreign exchange and the falling value of crude oil in the international market.
“Going overseas for further education is rather daunting at the moment. To have a post graduate programme of this nature for a fraction of the cost of spending a whole year aboard is a fantastic opportunity.
“The short duration of the course would allow legal professionals to enhance their professional skills without too much disruption to their normal work schedule. It would also make it easier for firms to release their staff. I must commend the NLS for their initiative,” Justice Kekere-Ekun said.
